Ryu Ji-hyeok, infielder of the Samsung Lions, said hello to his family.

Ryu Ji-hyeok started as the 6th hitter and first baseman in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League KIA Tigers match held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 12th. It was the first visit to Champions Field by Ryu Ji-hyeok, who was a KIA player until the 4th, but traded one-on-one with catcher Kim Tae-gun on the 5th.

He was originally scheduled to greet the fans for the first time at the game on the 11th, but as the game was canceled in the rain that day, he could not meet the fans. Ryu Ji-hyeok visited the home clubhouse, received a bouquet of flowers from manager Kim Jong-guk, and greeted the players by receiving special uniforms signed by all players.

At the time of the 5th, KIA was on an expedition to Incheon and Samsung was playing their home game in Pohang, so Ryu Ji-hyeok had to pack up and move to Pohang without having time to properly greet fans and players.

Ryu Ji-hyeok entered the plate as the lead batter in the second inning of the game on the 12th. Ryu Ji-hyeok rewarded the fans who welcomed him by bowing down three times to third base, catcher’s rear seat, and first base, where home fans are located.

The KIA cheering squad sang a cheering song for players who had left the team as Ji-hyeok Ryu entered the plate, as they always did. KIA fans sang Ryu Ji-hyeok’s cheering song for the last time.먹튀검증

The KIA starting pitcher on this day was Thomas Panoni, who played with Ryu Ji-hyuk last year, before returning to the KBO League. Panoni met Ryu Ji-hyeok, his former colleague, as an enemy, and in the first at-bat, he struck out looking and set Ryu Ji-hyuk back, showing that he was cool-headed in the game.
